FISH CULTURE.
It's Importance as an Economic Question
--latest Methods Employed by the y. q
Eish Commission.

it'r1ginal
As an economic question, the culture
and propagation of fish is scarcely less inn
portant than the raising of cattle for meats
and the production of cereals for bread
stuffs. Yet few people ever stop to con-
slider how the fish they daily consume are
propagated, Fish.cultdre in It's most re-
strictiSe sense, or fsh-breeding, must
sooner or later be resorted TO in Ill dense
Appropriated countries, for, with the ut
most Protection, nature, unaided, can do
but little to meet the natural demand Tor
fish as an article ef food. he improve
ment of Ash-culture in this country is SO
familiar to every one who has the slightest
interest in the subject it is unnecessary to
refer to il at length, except to show that
the Improvement in the condition of ourfish-
cries is chiefly due to the wise and ener-
getic manner in which Prof Baird, the
Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries, has
managed the interests intrusted TO his
charge. He is recognized by all nations as
.'the first fsh-culturist in the world . evf
deneed by the grand prize awarded to him
by the International Fisheries Exhibition
at Berlin in $780,
The principal activity of the commits
sioner, however, has been directed % to

pleted waters, (2) the investigation of the
fisheries past and present, (3) the intro
duction and multiplication of useful food
fishes throughout the country. These were
the main purposes for which the commits
sion was founded.
In an article of this nature it is impossi-
BILE to review even casually the important
work accomplished by the commission,
ic opIx ha "a
newspaper article to give brief account
of the methods employed for Matching and
distributing fish. The policy of Prof
Baird has been to carry out the idea that it
is better to expend small amount Of
public money in making fish so abundant
that they can be caught without restric-
ton, and serve as cheap food for people at
large, rather than to expend much larger
amount in preventing the people from
catching the few that still remain after
generations of improyidence

SAN FRANCISCO, May 7.-Importers
Of coolies have lately put in practice
scheme for defrauding the Govern.

to have their attorneys consent in

Probability OF . Failure VI the Hon
Crop this Year.
UTICA, N. ", May ia gloomy
feeling pervades the hop districts of
central New York. Two years ago
growers hardly realized enough from
hops to pay the cost of raising them.
Those who profited materially were
they who were to hold their product
for better prices, which came a year
later. Last year the crop was almost
total failure. Two years failure is
more than few can stand. The third
year means the ruin of many of the
growers. There is a uniform report
BY hop farmers that the third bad
year is before them.

HOW A CITY WAS DOOMED AND BUILT.

HOW A CITY WAS DOOMED AND BUILT
Portland Sews.l
1t was the good fortune of News
representative yesterday to meet Col
A. Allen, late of the Merchant hotel
at st. Paul, and enc of the pioneers
and solid men of that enterprising
city. Colonel Allen is here on tour
of observation and may extend his trip
as far as Alaska. He banks on ST
Paul and his objurgation, like that put
into Richard HIS mouth by Shakes
pere is Now by ST. Paul"
Col. Allen is sturdy man of So
years of age, but full of vitality and
humor. Yesterday he was the center
of deeply interested group as he
stood in the ticket office of the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company and
told how St. Paul came to be the big
city it is.
We stood shoulder to shoulder and
every man in St. Paul worked night
and day for the general good. The
motto was St. Paul first, last and all
the time 1t was not long ago when
We did not have near as big town as
Portland is and we were not the half
as rich as Portland people now are.
We formed business mems associa-
ton, the members of which We're
pledged to assist every legitimate en-
terprise, which would benefit our city.
We had big gong, which was sound
ed whenever it was necessary to call
the business men together. This asso-
citation gave the Northern Pacific all
the terminal facilities it asked for buy
ing and paying for the land, and max
ing it clean present to the company.
"The Omaha people wanted land in
St. Paul for terminal facilities. They
said they actually needed about forty
acres. The gong was sounded, a meet
ing was held, and $4,000 subscribed,
the forty acres bought, and a gift deed
of it made to the Omaha people, and
st. Paul soon had another railroad,
bringing men, money and business to
our doors and into our houses.
"The hotels were crowded with peo-
pie, and the business mems association
saw that there must be magnificent
hotel to accommodate her guests, or
allow the city to take a second place.
Mr.. Ryan offered to erect just such a
hotel as was needed, provided he was
given a clean bonus of $268,OO The
old gong again resounded, and by the
way, the gong seemed to accomplish
wonders which would put to shame
even Aladdin's wonderful lamp. The
$268 900 were raised and St. Paul has
the Hotel Ryan, which is hotel as is
hotel, as Captain Cutie would say.
"a gentleman had a large factory at
Winona and established a small branch
at st. Paul. He was asked why he did
not move his entire plant, root and
branch, to st. Paul, and replied that
he would like to do 80 but it would
cost $50, 600 to make the change and
therefore he did not feel like doing so.
The gong was rung and $4,000 sub
scribed. The factory plant was
brought to St. Paul and set in place,
and with it came sixty families of OPP
eratives. These were worth $1,000
apiece and more to the town. When
everything was up and the machinery
started, the proprietor was handed q
check for 100000.
$50 you see st. Paul did not reach
her present proud position without
great effort, and owes her greatness
solely to the enterprise and liberality
Of her citizens"

How Il City was Built.

INV a. vi NoN
The Portland Neus publishes the re.
suits of an interview with Col. A. AL
len, a prominent resident of St. Paul
who is on a visit to the Oregon me-
tropolis. The spirit manifested by the
citizens of that Furnishing city affords
a practical suggestion to those who
seem imbued with the desire but are
vainly seeking the means for bringing
about "A prosperous era. st. Paul in
1850 Was a trading hamlet of $50 peo-
pie. In 1850 she had 10000 popula-
ton; in 1870, 10000; in 1850, Al ,49S
and in 1883 an even 100000. 1t will
be observed that the ratio of increase
the last three years noted was liz per
cent, sequence Of the lbcral-spirited
policy that had more than doubled the
population in the preceding decade
The wholesale business of st. Paul in
1870 amounted to $9,Sl3,OOO; in 1881
to SAG. 555, 1893, employing $3.50 EN-.
ployes in 223 establishments. One
year later this had grown to $66, $685..
494, employing 1864 persons in 267
establishments. In 1888, the totals
were 81, O4S,771, with 5,S15 employees
by 1926 firms. The exact data the past
three years is not at hand, but We have
the assurance that it has been stead
fast and permanent. The manufac-
tories of st. Paul grew from So in 1870
to 1853 in 1883, and the value of pro-
ducts from $1,611, 1873 in the former
year to $25, 1885,, All in the intervening
thirteen years.
While the country tributary to St.
Paul embraces a wide area, she has
had many competitors, notably her
double" Minneapolis, which has
manifested an equally phenomenal
growth. She has been brought into
the most direct rivalry with her pow
erful competitor, Chicago, and it is un-
questionably true that had any other
policy than that outlined by Col. Al
len been pursued, she would to-day
have been O city of few thousand in
habitants, and Minneapolis scarcely
any larger, for it has been the business
tact developed by the rivalry of these
giants themselves that has kept every
muscle in play and reaching out for
every enterprise that promised ade-
quate returns.
The same spirit is manifested on
Puget Sound, notably at Seattle and
moderately at Tacoma. Seattle people
seem absolutely insane to Olympia
conservatives, who smile with an affec-
tation of superior wisdom whenever
Seattle tactics are discussed. This is
doubtless carrying q contrast between
the relative conditions too far, and our
judgment on that subject comedies
very closely with that of President
Lincoln, who, when he was informed
that Gen. Grant had been drunk when
he planned one of his successful CAM
paigns, expressed an inclination to
send barrel or two of the same kind
of whisky to some other of the Union
Generals.
Our Board of Trade should take
heart from reading the interview with
Col. Allen. They should invest in a
gong, and ring it as often as the typi-
cal dude sounds his chestnut-bell.

IT is said that Tacoma will spend &c..
600 for the celebration of the National
Anniversary this year, an epoch which
marks as well the completion of the
Northern Pacific Railroad. The city
contributes $500 of this amount, the
county $1,000 and the railroad and
land companies will make up the re-
mainder. Our terminal friends will
doubtless have good time, and we
propose, if Olympia does not celebrate
that we all close shop and 60 to Ia.
